Good morning for your daily show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, the first jobs report is being released since Doge began its drive to slash the federal workforce.
Then a Jack and Coke in Canada is now just a Coke after Jack Daniels got caught in trade war crossfire. It's Friday, March 7th. Let's ride.
It's going to be the last Friday you try to beat the darkness when leaving work because daylight saving time starts this weekend at 2 a.m. On Sunday, clocks will spring forward, which means you will lose an hour of sleep, but also gain an extra hour of daylight in the evenings. For instance, here in New York City, the sun will set tonight at 555 p.m., but on Sunday it'll set at 657 p.m.
This is absolutely huge for lazy people like me who held out strong on changing their microwave clock since daylight saving time ended in November. I've been living an hour ahead of you all for months, but soon we'll be synced up again.
Living in the future. I was making a little pros and cons list to figure out how I felt about daylight savings time because I always get confused. For the pros, it's good for golf, great for evening picnics, great for people who never change their clocks. For cons, it's very bad for parents taking their kids to school in the morning, also tough for morning people in general.
So if your job is hosting a morning business news podcast, maybe not so great. So after weighing all of that, I realized I have no strong feelings, and thank goodness for auto-updating clocks. Now a word from our sponsor, Invesco QQQ. Neil, I've been thinking about efficiency lately. Oh, finally getting to inbox zero, are we?
Well, some company called Morning Brew keeps sending me newsletters, so that's not happening anytime soon. No, I'm talking about the Invesco QQQ ETF. Ah, the Swiss army knife of ETFs, efficient and easy to trade. I prefer to think of it as the Toby Howell of ETFs. Innovative, forward-looking, super smart, and it's over 25 years old. See, we're basically the same.
